Kat just awarded me a Thinking Blogger Award.

In her own words, she awarded me “because she says what’s on her mind. I admire bloggers who say what they think.” I always feel like I am walking a fine line with this. I do not want to alienate my readers. However, I have specific thoughts on a variety of topics, and I really try not to sugarcoat things.

Now the rules for this one:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the �Thinking Blogger Award�

And the awardees:

Skeet. First, she is the best blogger about stuff. She is a great read every single day and always has something interesting to say. She makes you put your thinking cap on with a lot of her posts.

Amy. If you have never read her blog, you definitely need to check out her post about BJs. (I’d link it but I can’t find it right now) Normally, her blog is pretty clean, but that day I thought I was going to die laughing. She bares her soul to the world and I admire her for that.

Rhonda. Again, another blogger that bares her soul to us readers. I found her blog when she rented from me on Blog Explosion. The glimpses we get to see into her life make me think about mine and how lucky I am.

Kari. She’s my sister so I have to vote for her. She has a degree in English, so she has to be thinking most of the time (probably about how bad my spelling is).

Owen. He is just so freaking smart that he has to a thinking blogger. Any time any of us posties wants a plugin for WP he is there to rescue us.
